Or maybe I'm just remembering the effects of prenatals.
I think prenatals are pretty rich in iron and iron doesn't tend to agree with an empty stomach.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I do. We are unsure as to when our month will close this month and I have to make sure that all my invoices are entered.
Joe is at home, snuggled in the bed, sleeping blissfully.

Also, I have chosen, with the help my mom and grandmother, to not go back to Michigan for the funeral.
I can't imagine getting myself on a plane like this. I especially can't imagine doing it with a baby. The money for the ticket would come out of our moving fund, and the reality is, as my mom and sister pointed out, I have my own family to take care of. Every time I went to Michigan, I made an effort to go see my great-grandma. Her and Em sat for about an hour at her 100th birthday party and just chatted. She would not want me to bankrupt myself to go. I am dealing with the guilt.
Also, my grandfather will not be attending the funeral. He will remain in his closet. (get it? remain, remains? Bwhahahaha. God damn I'm sick. Get it? Sick?)
t passes out

{{{Gud}}} Eat something.
{{{Aimee}}} That had to be a very difficult decision for you to make. I think you did the right thing. Take care, and feel better.

What is even happening?
Every time I went to Michigan, I made an effort to go see my great-grandma. Her and Em sat for about an hour at her 100th birthday party and just chatted. She would not want me to bankrupt myself to go. I am dealing with the guilt.This was, I am sure, more important to her, than your coming out after her death would be. I am sorry for you, if you feel you would take comfort in making the trip.
Given my druthers, I'd rather the people I love come see me while I can see 'em back. I figure my after-death arrangements exist to comfort the mourners. Try to flush that guilt, if you can, sweetie.
Also, my grandfather will not be attending the funeral. He will remain in his closet. (get it? remain, remains? Bwhahahaha. God damn I'm sick. Get it? Sick?)
Ouch. I bust something, laughing.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Ooof, Aimee, feel better.
I'm betting your great-grandmother would understand.
Your grandmother isn't any fun at all, though.
{{{Gud}}} I can relate to the "get to the end of the month" thinking. (2/16. 2/16. 2/16.) Just remember to get there intact, however that works for you. I hope things get better soon.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Aimee, love. I haven' t had the chance to send my condolences, but I am sure your great-grandmother far more appreciated your and Em's visits when she was there to enjoy them than she would your coming to the funeral--especially sick. You know she'd cluck and scold, if she knew.
Find out what time the funeral is to be, and the burial. Adjust for time, and arrange to have some private moments then. Light a little candle and close your eyes and think of her. Wish her a safe journey and a happy meeting with her loved ones gone before, if you believe in that sort of thing. Say your private goodbyes. Believe that if she knows, she's content with your sweet wishes for her.
And take care of you and get over this sick mess.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Guilt there is no need fo r, Aimee. funerals , memorial services are for the mourners. It can be a good way to do things, but it isn't the only way .If you believe in an afterlife - GGM knows and understands. and your GF is laughing at your jokes.
And as much as I would like to tell Gud to eat- I think that is like telling my DH to eat. DH never believes me when I say eating more often is easier on digestion, prevents overeating, increases your metabolic rate, and makes dealing with day to day stress easier. Note that I do not say how often anyone should eat. Some people do well with twice a day. Some of us do better with 5 or 6 times a day. But once a day - means once in 24 hous. that's not very usual for mamals.

Gud, I'm with all the other Jewish mothers in believing you'll be better off having pbj and an apple or carrot sticks or something in you, come mid-day. You wouldn't expect the kids to skip lunch, don't expect it of yourself, either.
I've been days behind and catching up. But I made it. Hallo.

does anyone here watch the show on Discovery called "To Catch a Thief"? 'Cause I think I kind of love it.
